Love and faith is connected. Love births faith, faith sustains love. Often we learn have faith in God, which I believe is a core of the Christian discipline, but recognise there is an ambit to this that buttresses the work of divine grace and understanding, which is to have faith in the love of God. Faith in God is faith in His love, rarely do one have faith in the outrageous and unsurpassing love without a knowledge of God’s person. To know God cares, to God protects, to know God meets every need and can do anything, so therefore my trust or faith is in God. And then to in obedience receive Christ, and humbly come to an ever increasing knowledge of God’s love. As a believer I have faith in the love of God, I have faith in God. As God is love, bound to His person is perfect and divine love, inextricably linked, so our faith in Him mirrors His love; our love for God, His supernatural love for us. Also, our expression of genuine faith in God is our standard of love for others who are our neighbours as we do ourselves, with the grace only God can give. May God help us all through faith in Christ demonstrate continually a love of God that is heavenly. Why live in our own wisdom and not take to heart the unfathomed possibilities that exists if we were to trust Him? If not saved, that is come to believe God yet, today is the day of salvation to first receive Christ’s love and then to demonstrate His love. Amen. Now let’s meditate on God’s word- the love God has for us is the overcoming love. To God be glory, God bless.
1 John 4:7-9
“Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.”
